Floral Designer
Farmgirl Flowers · Gig Harbor, WA · 3 mo ago
On-siteOTHR$82k/yrFull-time
About the role
This is not a “stand around and arrange flowers all day” kind of role. We’re looking for someone who loves flowers, yes—but also loves the work that comes with them. The early mornings, the buckets, the mess, the details, the doing. Someone who takes pride in creating something beautiful—but also in cleaning it up, organizing it, and making it better the next time.
We’re a small team that cares deeply about the work and takes pride in doing it well. If you see something that needs to be done and just do it—without waiting to be asked—you’ll fit right in.
Responsibilities
- Design floral arrangements for our core product lineup, seasonal launches, and special collections
- Create designs and help to style shoots for marketing shoots, campaigns, press needs, and events
- Turn designs into clear, repeatable “recipes” (stem counts, varieties, substitutions) so they can be executed consistently across our network
- Work with product and operations teams to source and procure flowers and hard goods—and learn how we balance quality, availability, and cost
- Design with an understanding of pricing and margins—we’re not just making beautiful things, we’re running a business
- Receive, process, and care for flowers to ensure quality and longevity
- Keep the workspace clean, organized, and running well (this really matters to us)
- Help manage inventory, track usage, and stay ahead of what we need before we run out
- Assist with photoshoots, on-site installs, and event execution as needed
- Travel for key holidays (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc.), events, and press opportunities
- Drive to farms, markets, or vendors as needed to source and transport product
- Jump in to support broader farm and operations work when needed
Requirements
- At least 3–5 years of professional floral design experience at a high-end shop or with a studio florist
- A design aesthetic that aligns with Farmgirl’s style—natural, thoughtful, and not overdone
- A strong, disciplined eye for color—someone who gravitates toward cohesive, tonal palettes rather than high-contrast or overly busy combinations
- You have strong taste and know the difference between “pretty” and truly well-designed
- Deep knowledge of flower care, handling, and seasonality
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail—nothing slips through the cracks
- Someone who naturally keeps a clean, tidy, and well-run workspace
- Strong computer skills and comfort with day-to-day tools (Microsoft Office, Gmail, Slack, Asana, etc.)—you’re able to stay organized, communicate clearly, and keep things moving without needing to be chased down
- Comfortable receiving direct feedback and using it to get better quickly
- A positive, team-first attitude—no drama, no ego
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, physically active environment
- Able to lift buckets, stand for long periods, and work early mornings when needed
- Must have a valid driver’s license and be comfortable driving as part of the role
- Flexible and willing to do whatever needs to get done
- Able and willing to travel as needed
- Experience working directly with farms or sourcing flowers
- Experience designing for photoshoots, campaigns, or events
- Familiarity with inventory or product systems
- Experience working in ecommerce or high-volume production environments
